    Locktite is best used directly on the threads before the nut. You can also use a center punch and hammer instead. Just a few good taps to center of the bolt will deform the bolt locking the nut in place

    I definitely do a lot more sewing as the wasteland tribe I belong to has a very different aesthetic. I've also been sewing pretty much my whole life so it's something I'm comfortable with. I've made hip pouches from patterns and I do a great deal of leatherworking and that requires leather needles.

      I can sew, but it's very, very slow (no machine, so it's all by hand) so lately I've been using more bolts. . . I do love how much faster that is!

      if you have the skillZ, and enjoy the process, it surely helps! i have a simple machien now btw, did a few things with it, but not enjoying it as much as bolting. fun during the process is key. what gives that to you, that will be your go to thing.

    I never thought to use them until I found your channel way back when, and now I absolutely love them.

    If you want more material resistance, for it to grip the fabric better, file or sand the washer a little on the side that faces the fabric, that helps with grip too 🙌

    In my experience, the main differences between using bolts and rivets are utility, reusability and clearance.
    Rivets are decent for quick and dirty repairs or when you need the repair to be thin, but they're annoying if you want to swap around or replace a part on something and aren't reusable in some cases.
    Bolts are decent for making modular stuff and are reusable in most cases, but they tend stick out far enough to snag on something.

      I simply meant that compared to rivets, bolts stick out far enough to snag on things, even if they're trimmed.

      @@WanderingTetsubo Idk if this would work for what you're doing, but since I have knee-length hair that snags on almost everything, I take a nice fat piece of leather or fabric and glue it over the snaggy part.

      Although I typically use rivets and extra fabric to reinforce the legs of my work pants, so they don't get worn out as fast.

      ​@@WanderingTetsubo i dont know what you mean honestly. at this size & trimmed to be flush with the nut & sanded it doesn´t snag significantly for me - not more so than all the buckles and decorations and belts and bits of the costume anyway. not more than a rivet. nuts can technically snag more cuz a rivet is usually more round, i guess - but the difference is not one i ever noticed, on small nuts anyway. as for the boltheads, they are rounded so no problem there. obviously if you have a large M10 hex-head bolt and corresponding nut (and also not round them off) you WILL snag on that more than on a nice rounded rivet, yes :D probably as much as on buckles or other stuff

    What about locknuts? They would hold tight, yet be removable..nylon locknuts have a higher profile, but that shouldn't be a problem as long as they're facing outward..
    Great video!

    I mean you are wrong about sewing. But like the rest I mostly agree with. I use a cut off disk with cutting off bolts but I don’t use bolts on fabric and have a very different style to you but yeah in general sure bolts are good sewing is always better though even for metal.

      not sure i get your meaning - i dindt talk about sewing almost at all - so what specifically are you saying am i wrong about there?

      @@NuclearSnailStudios Sewing is better even for metal yes or for a lot of the applications you are using it for in outfits sewing would be better. I'm not saying you are wrong just that you have a totally different way of going about things and no doubt have a different use case for post apoc outfits then I do and want them to perform different. But in general it does seem to me you are very down on sewing as a tool and it's wild to me then you have not tried it out for joining metal armour stuffs given that is how a lot of armour in history that is metal has contacted to the things under it (e.g. it is attached at arming points or in the case of things like metal lamellar armours the plates are sewn to each other). But no joke you should really stop hating on sewing and see if you can push yourself by only sewing.
